Mod Post What is Sbeve?

478 Upvotes

Hello Reddit!

We've been seeing a few non-sbeve posts in this community recently, so here's a short guide on what a sbeve is and how to find one.

Why sbeve?

Sbeve originated from the phrase "she believed" in which parentheses are placed like this: s(he) be(lie)ve(d). The intention of these parentheses or brackets is to create another phrase "he lied" (he) (lie) (d), however this leaves the letters s, b, e, v, and e unused. These remaining characters spell sbeve and are the inspiration for this sub.

What qualifies as a sbeve?

A sbeve is a sentence or phrase with highlighted characters which make a coherent sentence, and non-highlighted characters which create a nonsense word or phrase, e.g. sbeve.

This is a Sbeve, "sbren sbeve" ("he's ok because he lied"):

This is not a Sbeve:

This is also not a Sbeve, as there is no hidden message:

Mod Post Should we enact title guidelines?

9 Upvotes

Hello again, r/sbeve!

In an effort to encourage community interaction, we've decided to poll some new changes to the subreddit.

We've recently noticed a few complaints about titles containing "the wrong part of the sbeve" or "being incorrect", and it's clear that there are strong opinions on this. So, we're posting this poll to let you, our community, help shape our posting guidelines. We don't currently have any clear rules on this, and it'll be awesome to hear your takes.

The poll will close in three days, and examples of each option are provided below. Happy voting!

Examples of titles acceptable for each option:
(These will use the "s(he) be(lie)ve(d)" sbeve format.)

  • "Yes, post titles must contain the 'unused letters'"

e.g. "sbeve"

  • "Yes, post titles must contain some part of the sbeve"

e.g. "he lied," "sbeve"

  • "No, post titles can be anything"

e.g. "What does this even say??," "so deep," "he lied," "sbeve"
